What to get 

During our visit to Wok & Roll, my dining companion chose the Kung Pao chicken, which came with peanuts, broccoli and mushrooms and fried rice. 

I went simply with the restaurant’s General Tso chicken. This lunch portion came with a heaping amount of chicken tossed in a savory and spicy sauce served with fried rice and sliced cucumber. I added four pieces of Wok & Roll’s California Roll, which came with crab meat, avocado and cucumber. A delicious addition to this meal. 

Each lunch selection comes with a pork egg roll, your choice of fried or steamed rice and your choice of crab rangoon or a soup. 

Wok & Roll has plenty of other options to choose from during your dining experience. 

Looking for one of this Chinese spot’s house specialties? Consider drying the Peking Duck — boneless and tender, roasted duck topped with green onions and a side of hoisin sauce and steamed bun. Or try the Sizzling Beef & Scallop, which comes with tender slices of beef sautéed with stir fried scallops and vegetables in a “very tasty” brown sauce. Maybe you’re in the mood for one of Wok & Roll’s salt and pepper selections, which comes in either crispy shrimp, crispy pork chop or crispy chicken.
